"Cowboys and Angels" is a song written and performed by English singer-songwriter George Michael, released on Epic Records in March 1991 as the fifth single from his second solo album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol.

"[4] James Brown from NME wrote, "This song is George Michael's finest 45 for years.

A soothing, moving croon in the company of some gentle jazz bass and percussion and a strong arrangement that shadows GM throughout.

Reminiscent of a film noir soundtrack as opposed to all that late '80s matt black lifestyle schmaltz he'd decided to become king of.

Some releases of the single also included a 4 minute 34-second radio edit of the song, which omitted the 42-second piano intro and an entire verse from the album version.
